The appellant applied for a liquor licence for a premises operating as Rebel and Cabana Pool Bar, seeking increased capacity and fewer restrictions than the previous licence.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to Review the Application, and several community groups objected, primarily citing noise disturbances from the outdoor patio.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the indoor capacity increase was in the public interest, the outdoor capacity increase and the playing of amplified music outdoors were not, due to the significant noise impact on the Toronto Island community.

The Tribunal directed the Registrar to issue the licence subject to strict conditions, including a prohibition on amplified music directed towards any outdoor area and a reduced outdoor capacity.

The applicant appealed a proposal by the Director of Vehicle Inspection Standards to refuse his applications for a Motor Vehicle Inspection Station (MVIS) licence and an MVIS mechanic registration.

The Director's proposal was based on the applicant's past conduct, which included numerous convictions and warnings for failing to submit required rebuilt vehicle files and operating from an unlicensed location.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant had repeatedly failed to comply with the requirements of the Mandatory Branding Program despite being given multiple chances.

The Tribunal concluded that the applicant's past conduct afforded reasonable grounds to believe he would not operate the business in accordance with the law and with honesty and integrity, and directed the Director to carry out the proposal to refuse the registrations.

The applicants appealed a proposal by the Director of Vehicle Inspection Standards to revoke their Motor Vehicle Inspection Station (MVIS) Type 6 licence and mechanic registration.

The Director alleged the applicants issued Structural Inspection Certificates for vehicles that did not meet prescribed standards, submitted false insurance estimates, and failed to comply with regulations.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicants consistently failed to perform competent inspections, submitted fraudulent documents, and put unsafe vehicles on the road.

The Tribunal directed the Director to carry out the proposal to revoke the registrations.
